Escuela Avancemos

Summary:

Escuela Avancemos is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Detroit, Michigan. With a total enrollment of 422 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools over the past 3 years, earning a 0 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Escuela Avancemos struggles significantly, with proficiency rates in core subjects well below state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 10.9% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 42.4%. The school's performance on the PSAT exam for 8th graders is also concerning, with only 39% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 9.76% in Mathematics.

Despite higher-than-average per-student spending of $14,971 for the 2023-2024 school year, Escuela Avancemos serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may require targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of its students and improve academic outcomes.
